Cheers and Jeers: Jameson Edition

Ingredients:
-Add Jameson as needed


Well its been a long week for various reasons over here in Cheers and Jeers land. As such sports following has been at a minimum while the Jameson at a maximum. So instead I bring to you for one time only a sports free Cheers and Jeers.

Jeers: To Sopranos being on regular Cable (A&E). I'm a fan of the Sopranos but if you take out the swearing, the violence, the indecency and shots of New Jersey (which are also rated R) you really have nothing left. Would you take the smile off the Mona Lisa? I say leave the good stuff in.

Cheers: To news that Ann Coulter could be charged with two third degree felonies and one misdemeanor. Couldn't happy to a nicer lady.

Cheers: To the Transportation Safety Adminstration. Finally they have cleared up the rules of flying with helper monkeys (h/t boingboing.net and dailykos.com)

Monkey Helpers

· The monkey handler should carry the monkey through the WTMD while the monkey remains on a leash.

· When the handler and monkey go through the WTMD and the WTMD alarms, both the handler and the monkey must undergo additional screening.

· Since monkeys may likely draw attention, the handler will be escorted to the physical inspection area where a table is available for the monkey to sit on. Only the handler will touch or interact with the monkey.

· TSOs have been trained to not touch the monkey during the screening process.

· TSOs will conduct a visual inspection on the monkey and will coach the handler on how to hold the monkey during the visual inspection.

· The inspection process may require that the handler take off the monkey’s diaper as part of the visual inspection.

Cheers: To Oldies but goodies. Check out the original Star Wars trailer. Just remember while you were watching Star Wars, Colonel was fighting in 'Nam. Possibly for freedom but that information is still classified.

Cheers or Jeers: To Global Warming. I'm normally not a praying man but Al Gore please give me good weather for my move. I have left you this clip of futurama discussing global warming as a sacrifice to your weather powers.
